The winter break to me means going to the movies, and there is a great selection out this year. One of the movies I saw this past week was “The Adventures of Tin Tin” directed by Steven Spielberg. My two boys and I really enjoyed it. I was reading some of the reviews and many of them were about the comparisons with “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, which is defiantly true (and really cool)! But, as an artist, I was drawn to the beautiful artistry that kept me looking back to the great Realist Painters in Art History like Rembrandt, Van Eyck and Vermeer.
Art History is not just in History…it influences our art and culture every day.

Totally cool! I did appreciate the richness and artistic details of Tin Tin.
